Greg,

I am glad to see that you are finally finished. It seems like just the other day we met in Oceanside and you picked up my extra mortar. It looks great.

It was a long road, but a lot of fun. Now the eating has begun.

Greg, your oven looks terrific. It must feel great to finally have it all done. Did you do your own stone work? You're quite a craftsman now. I enjoyed your whole oven build all over again on your web-album. Well done! -Dino

I must confess, I went to the brick place to price the stone facing and there was a man there from company building a display. I asked him if he did side jobs, he said sure. we met at a reasonable price and he saved me about 8 days of labor. I feel slightly cheap, but i got over it with the next pizza party.
Regards
greg

Cooked a few pizzas on Sunday and wanted to do something with all that great retained heat. When I woke up Monday moring the oven was still 400 deg F. Before I went to work, I threw a big old pork shoulder in a crock with some onions, red peppers, potatoes, carrots, spices, olive oil and a can of Guiness. 6-7 hrs later it was all falling off the bone and delicious.

Fired Pizza Saturday night. Sunday at noon the retained heat temp was 450F. So i threw a chicken in a dutch oven with broth, onion, potato and lots of garlic. 4 hours later, pulled the bones out (which were bare) shredded the chicken and poured it over rice...yum.

Greg - I just viewed your last two pic's and the thumbnails came across pretty small (just made me a little bit hungry). Your previous pic's were fine -just an FYI. Sounds and looks like your oven is getting the job done - congrats!
